I'll wear a pair of dressy black pants, a nice top, and dressy black shoes. If people don't have enough common sense when it comes to that, then that's their problem. It just seems like kindergarten sometimes. For example, don't wear huge earrings, don't wear alot of perfume. It's just degrading to me when someone says this to me.

I may get backlash for saying this, but I agree with you that looking presentable should be enough. But now I'm reading that wearing something "outdated" can hurt you, no matter how qualified you might otherwise be.
So now they expect people to go out and spend money on the latest fashions?
What gets me is that I've seen people who aren't dressed "appropriately" for an interview getting hired anyway. I really don't think there's a real science to it, but an subjective process.
